Tense Stuff

Rating: 9/10 (18 November 2002)

Spoilers.........
I enjoyed this, it was not as scary as the hype suggested, but I cannot remember I film that ever lived up to "the scariest film of the year" type claims.
I found the film almost uncomfortably tense, and often more tense in the quieter parts because you are expecting something to happen, when they are camped out in the ruins is a good example of this.
I think there was a deep message going on near the end of the film. West goes on about "men killing men", and yet proves himself and his men to be the real enemy, with the infected switching sides and our hero showing his own brutal nature.
The ending is fairly open, you come away wondering what will happen next, no bad thing in my book.
